Not sure why LEDs are an issue, guessing its deemed not to be authentic? ...I suspect this is because LED lights are technically not legal on the roads; The Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations require a minimum wattage for headlights to be road legal. LED lights have a wattage far below the legal requirement - for vehicles registered before 1st April 1986 the minimum legal requirement is 30 watts. Unfortunately the Regulations are out of date with current technology, and I very much doubt that anyone would attempt to enforce the Regulations, but presumably the RAC have to be seen to be enforcing them.
